Eclipse Predictions

Predictions for the
Total Solar Eclipse of 2003 Nov 23
were generated using the
VSOP87/ELP2000-85
solar and lunar ephemerides and a value of ΔT =
64.5
seconds.
The luanr coordinates have been calculated with respect to the Moon's Center of Mass.
They DO NOT include a correction to the Center of Figure,
or the effects of mountains and valleys along the edge of the Moon.
